Also, shave down their redundant lineup

Interesting, Renault seems to be letting nissan actually take over when it comes to the North American market

Surprisingly their new plan suggests a focus on sports cars. Maybe there's still life for a new Z after all.

This is it for all the non-believers. Official from Nissan.

"Similarly, official powertrain details aren't available, but we learned the long hood will hide a Z-specific version of the twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 found in the Infiniti Q50/Q60 400 Red Sport. It will spin the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. Looking ahead, the range will likely grow with the addition of a Nismo-tuned model whose six-cylinder will deliver approximately 500 horsepower."

Yes! Already have my money saved up. I was starting to give up hope and settle for something else, but Nissan swooped in at the last minute to keep my sale.

What do y'all think? I spot a 240 styled rear!?

Cyber370 · 05-28-2020, 07:34 AM

Hmmm. No GTR. I guess they may have decided to make the Z the flagship sports car platform. If it happens, I am hoping and praying that it won't be a bastard child such as the Supra and no electric hybrid crap.

Holy shiitake mushrooms!
The only problem I see is pricing it out of reach of most enthusiasts.
I also don't see a 25% uprate on the NISMO happening, but it's possible. 5 to 10% seems to be traditional.

It's a Z34 with a Q motor. Nice idea; too bad they're like 5 years late on the execution. I'll hold off any judgement until I see how well it handles the heat. Based on the cooling in the N/A Z34, I'm guessing not well

Call me when the Z35 is announced

I honestly think Infiniti's partnership with AMS on the Q Red Sport cars was absolutely strategic. If you follow what's available for that car from cooling enhancements, I can almost guarantee the lessons learned there will be applied to this car.

RE: the GT-R, if you watch the teaser video, there's a giant gap in the middle of the fleet of Nissans... I'm wagering that if the Z was the "flagship" they would have stashed it in the middle. I think we'll just have a longer waiting game to see what happens with godzilla.

I'm cautiously optimistic on this. For now, let's take this as a win in that the next Z isn't based on the GripZ concept and we haven't taken a turn into crossover-ville.

The 370z is the only one that has had heat related issues via the oil temp. For track use, all beats are off. The 300zxtt cars had no heat issues.

That's my point! It's getting worse over the years

I'm not talking track. I'm talking about seeing 260F temps with cruise control active on the highway in the summer heat in Texas. That's just unacceptable. Does the VR really run that much cooler than the VQ? If so, then smart move.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to poo poo the car. It has potential. But damn ... people are blowing loads in their pants from the littlest tidbit of info
